Four week series in two awesomely fun dances. Lindy Style Swing is the most versatile of the partner dances and the mother of all swing dancing. We dance to the great music of the classic swing and jazz era as well as lots of newer music up to contemporary times. You dance at a comfortable speed. Lindy is a great dance for learning musicality and improvisation.
The second dance is the exhilarating Hustle. This is the dance that kept partner dancing alive during the 1970s and 1980s. Hustle inspired the cool moves you see in Salsa. Hustle helps you to learn precision and turning. Congregation B'nai Israel, around the left side in the social hall or around the right side in the back, 3830 NW 16 Blvd, Gainesville, 32605.
